Actress Rose McGowan trashes Ted Cruz over fake Josh Duggar quote
Examiner.com ^ | 5/25/15

On Monday, actress Rose McGowan offered an apology of sorts after trashing Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, over a false quote about Josh Duggar. McGowan, known for her contribution to independent films, went ballistic over the false quote, calling Cruz a "blight on the soul of humanity" and told him to "get off of my planet."

According to Snopes, an anti-conservative group claimed that several conservative politicians, including Cruz, allegedly defended Duggar after he admitted to molesting underage girls. The group published an Internet meme falsely claiming Cruz said: "While there may have been an age difference, Josh Duggar's transgressions are far less an affront to God than what gays do with each other."

"Stop the World, the Teabaggers Want Off is an entertainment Facebook group that frequently mocks conservative politicians and pundits with fake quotes, and their disclaimer states that their 'page is for entertainment purposes'-snip-

After being called out for presenting the false quote as true, McGowan backed down with an apology that was just as hateful as her original statement. "I'm sorry I said #TedCruz liked child molesters. Ok? No go back to hating gays," she said in a tweet that closed with a profanity

Rose WHO? We're supposed to take these overpaid mannequins seriously? The only thing they have going for them is an ability to play make believe. And to think when I was a kid I was ridiculed for believing pro wrestling was real? SHEESH! Besides, she thinks politicians defending sex abusers is something new? Hillary has doing this since Billy boy was Gov of Arkansas.

She should take care to not make political statements except through the “power of three”.

Some nobody tries to get some ink by commenting on a celebrity.

Does she clean the toilets at one of the major studios?

I have Facebook friends who have fallen for the most outrageous, often vulgar, memes about conservatives. It’s not that the memes are especially clever or subtle. It’s just that these people really, really want them to be true.

Perhaps the only thing you can say to embarrass a leftist filled with one of the seven deadly sins is to remark how they don’t seem to participate as much in another of the deadly sins.

For them, it is like sins are sacrament.

Her castmates on ‘Charmed’ have hinted that Rose may be a heteronormativist.
